Were the pilots who flew the helicopters in Vietnam war Air Force or Army?
The US Army had the largest helicopter force in the world during the Vietnam War. And flew a lengthly list of different types of choppers during the conflict: Sioux (whirlybird), CH-19, CH-21 Shawnee, CH-47 Chinook, CH-34, UH-1 Iroquois (Huey), AH-1 Cobra, OH-58 Kiowa, OH-6 Cayuse...to name a few. The US Navy flew CH-53 Sea Stallions, while the US Marines preferred the CH-46 Sea Knight (which looks like an army CH-47 Chinook). The US Air Force flew Jolly Green Giants and Flying Cranes, both of which were versions of the US Navy CH-53 Sea Stallion. The mission of USAF chopper airmen was to rescue downed US fliers (jet pilots) and recover shot down US aircraft (mainly spotter planes and other helicopters...there usually wasn't too much left of jets when they crashed). All branches at one time or another flew the US Army's UH-1 Iroquois (Huey) in Vietnam...especially the US Navy & Marine Corps. The USMC also flew the US Army's AH-1 Cobra in Vietnam. NOT to be confused with the current SUPER Cobra flown by 21st century US Marines...that craft has TWO engines. The Vietnam Cobra, which was the world's first "designed & built" fielded combat Attack Helicopter had only ONE engine. So, the short version of answering your question is: The men that flew helicopters in the Vietnam War were from all branches of the US military...but primarily from the US Army.
How many American aces were there during World War 2 and how many USAC and USMC Aces?
Aces of World War II lists over 1,270 American Aces...This is the most complete list I have seen...By contrast, there are over 5,000 documented German Aces from WWII, and German pilots had no shared victories, only one pilot could claim a independently witness and verified "kill"...If the pilots couldn't agree who got the kill, neither one was credited, it went to the staffel...Tjm
